Weaknesses
  • •Consumer travel discovery market is dominated by Google Maps.
  • •Personalization vector claim is vague without visible results quality.

Post Description

tabical: swipeable 2-4 stop city itineraries for NYC, DC, and Atlanta. You swipe right or left and a personalization vector updates on each swipe to curate your deck.

The backend pipeline is where most of the interesting work lives: currently trending signals are harvested each day, and from those signals we fetch the candidates to build itineraries.

Built this because deciding what to do in a city like NYC is a genuinely annoying problem that no existing app solves end-to-end. Happy to talk more.
